Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Happy Spring, sweet friends! Can you believe Easter is just around the corner? My how the time flies! However, not to worry…this week I am joining my tablescaping friends to bring you our Easter tables. This fun tour is being hosted by the wonderful and talented Chloe at Celebrate and Decorate. You will find a schedule of this week’s participants at the end of this post.

My newly acquired Staffordshire bunnies and pretty chintz table linens became the theme for my Easter table. The bunnies were purchased at an estate sale last fall, and I have been anxiously waiting to display them in my spring decor.

 

Several years ago, I found these plates at HomeGoods. They are by Andrea by Sadek and are a reproduction of a late 18th century Chinese export porcelain collected by Harold S. Vanderbilt.

Pickings were slim at my local grocery store for spring flowers. I chose to go with one type of flower…raspberry colored alstroemeria. The color picks up the same floral shade in the chintz table linens. I love alstroemeria for its longevity.

 

Each napkin is tied with a pearl napkin ring.

 

Thank you so much for your visits and comments. Lately, I have been absent and for that I want to apologize. Sometimes, family life can get a little hectic. I promise to post more. In fact, I have three posts ready to go. Later this week, I will be sharing my entry adorned for spring. It is one of my favorite areas to add seasonal touches. Next week, I will show you some updates to the living room, and I will be joining some of my blogging friends to bring you our spring home tours.

This week, please be sure to visit my tablescaping friends. Their endless talent always inspires me. I know you will be greeted with lots of gorgeous inspiration for your holiday tables. May you all have a very happy and blessed day, friends!

So beautifully done.
